Greetings, fellow Adventurers! It's been a while, isn't it? We have been working very hard on the next big update that will... Well, the title says it all... Just One Line has left Early Access and is officially a fully released title now! Cheers, all hail the King! We are profoundly moved and excited about this date and we hope you are excited too! You got to be! It is worth noting though, that this is a huge milestone for Just One Line but it is not nearly the end of its story! We have envisioned JOL as an ever-growing game both in updates and in its content. We could have gone on forever developing and adding new content, but we realized that the game is solid and it fulfills most of the expectations you and us have set. We believe Just One Line is now ready, solid, stable, polished and rich in content. We will continue to update and patch the game but it is also your turn, Adventurers, to make this game even better: you have the tools (Quest Editor, Contests, etc) and a community to join (Discord and the Steam Community Hub)! But that's not just like "Hey, we are leaving Early Access" and that's it. Not at all! We said we feel the game is ready for its big time, but that would not be true without a huge update to back it up! In fact, we are glad to announce that we have just shipped the biggest update we have ever shipped to our game! Get ready for Just One Line version 1.0.1! (We realize that there are quite a lot of exclamation marks in the present announcement... but we could barely contain the excitement. We hope you feel the same! Darn, there it is one more.)

Just One Line is a fantasy RPG gamebook-like indie game heavily focused on choices and their consequences, in which you may compete with other players in an interactive online leaderboard.
Create different adventurers by choosing their races and backgrounds and embark on a variety of epic quests: each adventurer will progress by increasing his/her renown and relations with the factions of the Kingdom thus unlocking new races and backgrounds for your next playthroughs.

Even though the core game experience is a text-adventure 2.0, anyone, of any age, who likes fantasy RPGs or books should give it a try. In fact, Just One Line has many great features appealing to a broader audience:

CHOICES MATTER
A lot of games say so, but a few truly mean it. Most of the quests in Just One Line are linked together and have different story paths according to your race, background, attributes and, more importantly, choices made in previous quests.
ENDLESS GAME EXPERIENCE
The video game itself is a framework upon which countless quests may be created and played. By exploiting user generated content and partnering with writers, Just One Line could potentially provide ever-growing contents!
YOUR ADVENTURER, YOUR STORY
Create your adventurers as you see fit. Start by choosing a race and a background, follow up with some aesthetic customization and finally shape him/her into a valorous hero or a ruthless villain. Their morality and honor changes according to your in-game choices.
WILL YOU BE THE BEST?
When you resign your adventurer you can compete with other players in the online leaderboard to be the most renowned/good/evil/rich(/whatever!) adventurer of the Kingdom!
HIGH REPLAY VALUE
Each quest has choices, or even entire story paths, only available after certain conditions are met and/or depending on previous quests’ choices! Every time you play with different adventurers, the story changes.
ALL ABOUT IMMERSION
We feature a unique set of locations with a fancy toon graphics and a mesmerizing OST to aid your imagination when embarking on epic quests. You will be amazed!
SHORT STORIES, DEEP STORIES
We believe that wall of texts are not needed for engaging desktop players. Quest telling is rich and thrilling yet not too darn long.
INNOVATIVE YET CONSERVATIVE
The concept of our game is a breath of fresh air! However, you can expect everything a role-playing gamer has come to know and love: races, classes, skills, magic, powerful weapons and armors… Oh! And dragons, zombies and pirates too!

Early Access Features

3 Races out of 4.
6 Backgrounds out of 10.
10 Quests and counting.
Online leaderboard.
23 Armors.
29 Weapons.
29 Potions and Trinkets.
Two languages: English and Italian.
More to be added later

The main focus of this Early Access is to increase the game longevity (please also read the Early Access section above): the quest pack will be expanded as the game development goes by. User created quests will be added via Steam Workshop to a separate set of quests.
About the plot: Even though the game will feature a main story, it will only emerge as more quests are added to the game. The main story is already referenced by other quests in the game at the moment. Eventually, one or more playable quests about the main story will be added to the game; until then, the players must think of the quests as tasks -or help requests- from the people of the Kingdom, each somehow linked to many others (by cause-effect relationship) sharing the same game lore and background but not the same main story, as a traditional gamebook would. The adventurer is not (yet) a "chosen one", but rather a lad/lassie seeking his or her fortune!

Performance Notes

Just One Line is in development and undergoing optimizations. As the development continues and the community gives us feedback, performance will get better. The game suffers a slow one-time initial loading on mechanical hard drives.

Please Note

We are not planning to and will do our best to avoid game saves to become incompatible over time or to wipe the online leaderboard. Should it be the case, we will give the users prior notice and try to work out the best solution possible to avoid any unexpected data loss.

Quests already shipped may be updated in the future and the prerequisites/choices/consequences in newly added quests may depend on those updates. This could result in some "plot inconsistencies" or minor issues if playing with adventurers created before given updates.
